Aymeric Caron again accused of anti -Semitism. The apparent deputy LFI reacted to a press article relating a case involving the Spanish airline Iberia, accused of having served for Jewish passengers who ordered kosher meals for the sets with the registration « Free Palestine ». On X, this Wednesday, August 6, the parliamentarian assures that “It is not an anti -Semitic act”.
“Those who made this thought that people receiving the meal, being a priori Jewish, would be particularly concerned by the actions of the Jewish State, carried out by Jewish soldiers”, he wrote to explain the gesture of on-board agents. “This says nothing about their personal opinion and perhaps some of the people who have received the kosher meal with the registration are opposed to the current genocide in Gaza”assured the deputy for Paris. Before adding: “The message written on the meal trays is absolutely not anti-Semitic (Free Palestine): it is political and claims the application of international law, namely the release of occupied Palestine. Nothing shocking “.
“Reducing all Jews to the crimes of a government is precisely that, anti -Semitism”
This attempt to justify Aymeric Caron immediately aroused the ire of many internet users and political activists. “Paste” Free Palestine “on dishes only intended for Jews would not be anti -Semitic? Reducing all Jews to the crimes of a government is precisely that, anti -Semitism “said Raphaël Benharous, member of young socialists, on X. “Be careful Aymeric Caron, you get closer to the garbage cans in history”he continued.
“A deputy said with audacity that it is founded to enjoin Jews, chosen at random, to decide on a conflict which takes place 4,000 kilometers from their home. Far away, the time when real intellectuals sit in the National Assembly »annoyed a user on the social network. When an X account with tens of thousands of subscribers draws a parallel: “If Muslims ask to eat Halal, can we write” death to the Taliban “on their meal? Or “Free the Iranian women? Wouldn’t it be “Islamophobic”? As Muslims, they feel concerned by horrors made by Muslims in the world right? »».
This is not the first time that Aymeric Caron has been accused of anti -Semitism. At the end of July, the deputy had responded in the affirmative to an internet user who asked him if the Hebrew state was, according to him, sheltered from international sanctions because of his Jewish identity. A message that had sparked an avalanche of indignant reactions. In general, the party to which it is attached, rebellious France, is regularly accused by its political adversaries to close their eyes or even to be complacent towards anti-Semitism, in particular since the attacks of October 7 and the Israeli replica in the Gaza Strip.
